About The Mariinsky Ballet Company

The Mariinsky Ballet Company is more than two hundred years old and dates back to 1783 with the opening of the Bolshoi Stone Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is considered one of the most significant producers of exceptional performers in the world, with many reputable ballerinas having graduated from its institution. The modern Mariinsky Ballet Company is defined by its 1980’s productions such as Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin” and “Queen of Spades”. Kirov Theatre’s in-house director Yuri Temirkanov has since been instrumental in training and producing exceptional ballet performers since 1976 to date.

The Mariinsky Ballet Company does not just perform ballet: it also has a fully functioning opera program, orchestration team and orchestra, and they put on theatrical productions as well. It is an institution, patron and encourager of the performing arts, one of the best of its kind in the world. Mariinsky Ballet’s team is diverse, with performers from different countries, ethnicities and cultures all learning to call St. Petersburg their home.

Celebrating Marius Petipa

Petipa became the official Director of the Mariinsky Ballet Company in 1869 and made it his mission to keep its glorious tradition alive. He followed in the footsteps of Arthur Saint- Léon and Jules Perrot and carefully revised classics such as “Le Corsaire”, “Giselle” and “La Esmeralda”. However, his most inspired play is the production of “La Bayadère” because it brought an all new choreographic range to ballet. “Dance became assimilated to music” for the first time and this has become a benchmark for modern ballet. “The Sleeping Beauty” was an original by Petipa who was inspired by contemporary Tchaikovsky. Petipa also designed the choreography for Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” along with Lev Ivanov which has become a seminal work in ballet. Petipa has cemented himself as a reputed symphonist with his production of “Raymonda” by Glazunov. Petipa’s innovations in ballet have inspired a whole new generation of choreographers who have looked up to Petipa and used his techniques in contemporary productions as well.

Therefore, a tribute to this exceptional artist seems only fitting; and that too from the ballet company Petipa learnt to call his home. The Mariinsky Ballet Company is presenting this year’s performance of “La Bayadère” in honor of his memory, as his most influential choreography to date.

About La Bayadère

“La Bayadère” is an original of the Mariinsky Ballet Company and is divided into four acts and seven scenes. The story is set in Imperial India where Nikiya, a young temple dancer has fallen head over heels for a young valorous warrior named Solor. However, Solor is already betrothed to a Rani. Nikiya is forced to dance during the engagement ceremony after which as a token of appreciation she receives a basket of flowers by the Rani. In a cruel twist of fate, the basket contains a snake instead, which bites Nikiya and she dies.

Solor dreams of being united with Nikiya in the seven heavens but wakes up to the realization that he is getting married the next day. At the wedding, he sees another vision of Nikiya and pledges his sacred vows to her instead of the Rani. This angers the Gods who bring destruction after which Nikiya and Solor are reunited in the afterlife.

This play is a beautiful visual display of the power of love and the sacrifices it entails. It truly is a breathtaking spectacle, and one you should not miss out on. Mariinsky Ballet ticketsfor the American performances are on sale now.
